Becoming Barack

Barack Obama:
My general view about politics and running for office, if you end up being fortunate enough to have the opportunity to serve, it's because you have a track record of service in the community. And I think right now I am still building that track record and if a point comes when I think I can do more good in a political office than doing the things that I am doing now, then I might think about it, but that time is certainly in the future. - Barack Obama, October 27, 1993.
